Educational Opportunity and Credits at Program for Pennsylvania Senior Network Professionals

Each spring for the past 16 years professionals who provide services to seniors have had the opportunity to attend a free one-half day education and networking conference. 400 to 500 aging, health care, legal and financial professionals attend each year.

This year the Marshall, Parker and Weber 17th annual Professional
Update will take place in Williamsport on Wednesday May 1, 2013 and in
Wilkes-Barre on Thursday May 2nd. You can attend whichever location
is most convenient to you.

Keynote speaker for this year’s event will be Jan Nelson founder
of the Center for Courageous
Aging, located in Marietta, GA. Jan’s mission is to “believe in, dream with
and discover the potential in our elders and those who care for them.”

During the conference Jan will facilitate individual virtual
dementia tours for attendees who wish to participate. The tour will allow
attendees 10 minutes to put on goggles, gloves and earphones in order to emulate a person with dementia. Then, they will be asked to perform
several different functions. The tour is likely to change your perception of aging. Here is a link to a video that explains the tour in more detail:VDT link.

The Professional Update will also include a review of recent legal and regulatory developments of importance to seniors and their advisors and care givers. Popular individual break-out sessions for financial professionals and health care / social services professionals will be repeated this year.

Free or very low cost continuing education credits are
available for most professionals.

Exhibit tables and other benefits are available for
Professional Update sponsors. If you would like to learn more about our
sponsorship opportunities, please contact Melissa Bottorf at 570-321-9008
